haha ever? dunno, warcraft 2, diablo, super metroid, final fantasy 6, master of magic, tetris various others I don't like any current games! SMG, Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Prototype, Crackdown, GTA IV, Halo 3 were all pretty great.

This game is awesome. I'm really suprised no one has crowned it the console graphics king yet. Maybe because it's a super hero game people swept it under the rug. The story is great and so are all the extras.

So far Batman is one of the most fun I've had playing any game.

I'll write a review when I beat the game.

I disagree with that. They're okay at best, nothing more as far as I'm concered. I have yet to go against Killer Croc though. . . maybe he'll give me a good fight.

The demo was terrible, I was thinking: "Boring! Just another mediocre superhero game." It surprises and baffles me to see all the good reviews because the game sucks.

How can you say that Batman: Arkham Asylum "sucks", yet you say Sonic '06 is a basically a very good game. No offense, just wondering...

Damnit Bioshock, I was about a cm away from reading that spoiler. Jeesh.

Anyway game is amazing so far.

And as for Jandurin, yes you listed good games. But I still think you should rent the game for the story and production values, which are high.

The full game is better than the demo, has more things that the demo didn't have.

If the demo is horrible and doesn't keep my interest, I'm not gonna waste any time with the full version.

I completely agree with your second statement. The only reason people are somewhat skeptical is because it's Batman. The game is fantastic on every level.

I tend enjoy platformers like Sonic and Mario, Sonic 06 was an enjoyable game that no one gave a chance because the low scores scared everyone away. But Batman AA was too linear and the combat was repetitive button mashing.

There was a preview in GameInformer which inferred the game was frustrating as all get out, which lowered my expectations. So now Im skeptical about the game. I know it is GI but still, it must be pretty hard. Not that I dont like challenge (I loved Ninja Gaiden) but frustrating can be well.... quite frustrating.

I thought the demo was just ok, but I can tell from all I am hearing from those who own it that the demo is not very representitive of the full game at all. Every single review of the game would indicate as much as well. I was going to hold off on this one for awhile, but now I am not so sure I should. Just so many darn games coming out that I want.:?

Finishing GTA IV tonight, then getting Valkyria Chronicles on Friday. I'll play FF7 tomorrow while I wait for Friday. I imagine VC will take me awhile. I plan to really give it a good go.
